Like many this was my first tablet. For the price, you can't go wrong, it works like a charm. Sure it's missing some features, but this is an _entry level_ tablet.
Pros:
Good price
Looks the business
Up and running in minutes
Works very well in all the applications I tried:
Photoshop, ArtRage, Sketchbook Pro
Cons (some only minor):
No spare nibs
No application specific setup on the tablet functions (you'll need an Intuos for that)
Pen button a little too high up the pen for me at first
Pen could benefit from being a just a little heavier
Takes a little time to get used to right mousing
You miss your scroll wheel not being 'right there' at first

This is a really good addition to a graphcis programme (I design and make greetings cards), which is why I bought it - but it is so much more useful than that! It replaces a conventional mouse in a very user friendly way and is a lot more comfortable to use too. If only it could make a cup of coffee......?! Easy to set-up and customise - it really is a 'Plug and play'. The Artrage software that comes bundled with it is a cute little programme - good for kiddies and adults. All-in-all great value for money and as usual Amazons service was brilliant.

This is the first tablet I have used and it is making life a lot easier, as I have problems with my muscles and using my hands so the mouse is now almost redundant. The "artrage" software is a lot of fun and easy to use, so all in all it has been an excellent buy.

I have used my old Wacom Graphire A6 tablet for many years now and found it OK but a bit on the small size.
The larger Wacom Intuos3 A5 Tablet Pen and Mouse USB is the perfect size and the no battery mouse and stylus are excellent. The scroll/zoom sliders are very useful and suite left and right handed users.
I echo the praise regarding the functionality and sturdy design in the other reviews.
I would just like to mention that the Ultra Smooth surface of the tablet has helped reduced the sensitivity in my palms, and this is a bonus I didn't expect when I bought this beautifully designed equipment.
The price put me off buying it sooner which I now regret as you will find it worth every penny and wonder how you worked ... Read More:

I bought the wacom bamboo medium [A5 size] for use with ZBrush 3.1 mainly and have to say it's wonderful and much better than my old wacom A6 slate, i find the size of the tablet is just about right as i like to have the tablet/pen 'available' on my desk and so it's no too large that it takes over the space on my desk where mu mouse goes..i can use both with no hassle.
A larger tablet, like the intuos A5> has a much larger surroud area or an A4 tablet may have to be stored away when not in use.
using in on my 24" screen is fine [HD size res screen]..sure there's abit of traveling from one corner to another but the A6 size works well and is of high enough res to sculpt in zbrush without a hitch.

There is no picture for this item so I thought that the 'sleeve' would be similar to that available for the Graphire, a plastic cover that protects the pad. Wrong, it is a zipped black bag for the purpose of protecting the pad when it is being transported. It may be very good for that purpose but it is not what I wanted. I am unable to return it for credit because I took it out of its plastic packing to examine it and this renders it non returnable. I have purchased a number of items from Amazon and I am used to them being first class and exactly what I wanted and thus my disappointment is much the greater.

I absolutely love this, I've wanted to buy one for a long time and finally got round to it recently. As soon as you open the box you notice the quality of construction in both the pen and tablet. The bundled software drivers are easy to configure (for Mac OS X) and I was up and running in no time. If you work with graphics like I do, then I would have no hesitation in recommending this to you, excellent product.
